Nanomaterials, Properties and Applications

Nanomaterials size range from 1 to 100 nm with unique optical, electrical, magnetic, mechanic and structural properties. There are some naturally occurring nanomaterials (viruses, protein, lotus leaf, spider-mite silk, and butterfly wings etc.) and more engineered nanomaterials (Au NPs, Ag NPs, etc.) with top-down and bottom-up approaches. The chapter detailed about properties and applications of nanomaterials.
